Chapter 73 A Past I Hadn't Known I Had

• Lucia’s POV
• I’d stayed longer at my father’s place than I’d planned. I wasn’t sure what Dante would think about my visit, but it didn’t matter. He had already been distant in his own way, his own fortress of secrets keeping me out. The trust I’d once felt between us was slipping through my fingers, and the weight of it pressed heavily on my chest.
• As I left my father’s place, the streets felt colder than usual. I hadn’t even made it a few blocks when a black van pulled over beside me. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up, instinctively sensing danger. Before I could react, the van doors flew open, and three massive men in black masks grabbed me.
